![4]( "Recensione")
I'd read quite a few mixed reviews of the Grand Cafe both on Google Reviews and on TripAdvisor prior to my visit to CP and was interested to see for myself which was most accurate. All opinions are naturally subjective but on my visit I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.
I went on a Wednesday evening (with my other half and 3yo son) and I knew before we went that the food choice was limited to a carvery menu for adults and the same for my son but with the option of the children's pasta menu, which he went for. The service was pretty good, although drinks took a while to be delivered even though it wasn't very busy at the time, and the carvery menu (2 courses; starter plus main or main plus dessert) was clearly explained. Two meats were on offer, gammon and beef, and you could choose either or both.
Once you're ready to eat you go up to the servery counter and choose your meats plus stuffing, chipolata and Yorkshire pudding (which is put on your plate by a chef) and then you help yourself to as many vegetables as you can fit on your plate! The meat was moist and the veggies were passable (ever so slightly overcooked) but both were very flavoursome. We had apple and cinnamon crumble for dessert, which was delicious, and our son had vanilla ice cream with a bear shaped wafer. His children's menu was £7.95 and included the two courses and a drink. The two adult mains (2 courses) were £16.95, although there's a 3 course option for £19.95. A pint of beer is £4.40, which is fairly standard throughout CP Longleat. One noticeable 'rip off' was a 275ml bottle of non-alcoholic Becks Blue at over £3.50! This strikes me as unreasonable given that it's basically a soft drink!
The only reason I've given it four stars not five is because it's a little expensive for what you're getting. I accept that it's not massively overpriced but it's enough to lose a star. A recommended visit though and I'd probably come again.
A group of 6 of us had a lovely afternoon tea here. We called up earlier in the day and they still had availability l, even though it was a Saturday in June. The staff were pretty good, managed to deal well with our short notice gluten free request, but seemed a little off overall, not rude, just seemed a little ambivalent.
The food itself was good, crumbly scones and a good selection of cakes and sandwiches. I think we had salmon, cucumber and cress, ham and cheese and tomato. The macarons were very good. The tea was a bit disappointing, only English breakfast or mint, and they ought out a pot of not-quite-hot-enough water with the tea bag next to it.
Pretty reasonable price, £16 for two people. Would go again.
Bit expensive, but really nice food and staff really friendly and helpful. Came in on the off chance for a afternoon tea (normally have to book) waitress told us that they can do it but would be a 20 min wait. But only had to wait 10min. (But wasn't very busy at the time) but it was a very good afternoon tea.
The garlic prawns is only big enough as a starter not a main as advertised. Lovely food but reflected in the price.
Fantastic meal really good service.
